When Emperor Xingyuan said that fundraising would cure the symptoms but not the root cause, King Xiu's eyes darkened.

This is the method proposed by my father last year, and I was not satisfied with it?

He saw that Emperor Xingyuan showed an expectant gaze at Xin Yu, and his mood couldn't help but be bitter.

After Xin Yu was questioned by Emperor Xingyuan, he immediately became the center of everyone's attention. This did not make her nervous, but rather emotional.

What's there to be nervous about? She had been waiting for this right moment for a long time.

She stood up, saluted Emperor Xingyuan, and then spoke: "The minister does have some ideas. ”

"Oh, tell me about it." Emperor Xingyuan looked interested.

"Fundraising can only solve a temporary emergency, and additional endowments will increase the burden on the people. The minister proposed to reform the tax system and introduce a rational tax law, so as to increase the tax revenue of the national treasury and reduce the burden on the people——"

"Impossible!" Without waiting for Xin Yu to finish speaking, Yu Guangfu, the head of the household department, jumped out, "Increase taxes and reduce the burden of the people, these two are opposites, how can it be possible to increase taxes and reduce the burden of the people?" ”

Where do taxes come from? from the people. When taxes increase, it is natural that the people pay more. And the people pay a lot of taxes, how to start reducing the burden?

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was most disgusted with Xin Yu's appearance in the court in official uniform, and after refuting it, the Hubu Shangshu followed up and spoke: "Xin Zhizhao may not be clear about the way of the world, and the tax law is carefully considered on the basis of the experience of the previous dynasty, not child's play......."

Xin Yu heard the contempt in the tone of the Ministry of Rites.

The ministers thought that this little girl who had the emperor's blue eyes would refute, scold, and make noise, but she didn't expect that she listened calmly, but it seemed that the words of the Ministry of Rites were a little aggressive.

The Ministry of Rites and Rites was uninterrupted, and finally he couldn't go on.

"If Sun Shangshu finishes speaking, he might as well listen to the lower official." Xin Yu said calmly.

Although the Ministry of Rites Shangshu despised it in his heart, it was difficult to say anything on his lips.

That's too much to just say!

"The increase in the state treasury and the reduction of the burden on the people seem to be contradictory, but in fact they can be realized." Xin Yu looked at everyone and said word for word: "That is, to spread the land into the mu and cancel the poll tax." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expression of the fast reaction changed dramatically, and the slow reaction was also shocked after pondering and understanding.

Xin Yu took in the changes of everyone and continued: "How many dynasties have taxed per person, and the same is true of Great Xia. However, many poor people have no permanent property, but have to pay taxes according to the population, and can only be overwhelmed by heavy taxes, while the rich gentry who own a large amount of fertile land will pay less taxes because of preferential exemptions. How can the treasury be filled in this way? ”

When the ministers heard the word "preferential exemption", most of them wanted to make trouble.

Does this mean that the right of preferential exemption of the gentry should be abolished? If so, isn't the bitterness of the cold window in vain? Are they the same as ordinary people?

Emperor Xingyuan coughed heavily: "Listen to Xin Zhi's edict!" ”

The ministers were forced by the majesty of the emperor to quiet down.

Xin Yu knew that the New Deal had stepped on the sore feet of these people, and this was a real and naked conflict of interest, and there was no possibility of ambiguity.

Because of this, all verbal disguises lose their meaning. All she could do was make it clear and see what the person on the dragon seat decides.

The girl's calm and clear voice sounded in the hall: "The land is one, those who have more land will accept more, those who have less land will accept less, and those who have no land will not accept it." In this way, the burden on the people has been greatly reduced, and the situation of evading tax payment by hidden people has been eliminated, and the tax revenue of the state treasury has naturally increased substantially......"

As Xin Yu said the specific policy slowly, the reactions of the people in the palace also changed. Most of the people's faces became more and more ugly, and a few people were thoughtful.

"Although reforming the tax law cannot solve the problem of the snow disaster in the border towns that has been placed in front of us, it is the way to cure the root cause. After the implementation of the new policy, the treasury was full, the people lived in peace, and in the event of natural disasters and chaos, they would not be able to worry about not being able to take out the money. After Xin Yu finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Xingyuan, "These thoughts were told by my mother when I was young. Zhang Youming's uncle and nephew personally admitted that they sent killers to assassinate the ministers because they didn't want to see the implementation of the new policy, and they didn't know why this policy of benefiting the country and the people made him hate it so much. ”

The girl looked confused and looked at the ministers.

The ministers hurriedly looked away.

Is this girl the devil? So good at digging holes!

She actually reminded the emperor so naturally that Zhang Shoufu and others harmed her and Empress Xin because of the new policy. In this way, when the emperor asks them for their opinions, if they oppose it, it will definitely attract the emperor's heart!

The ministers were thinking about it, and they heard Emperor Xingyuan ask in a light tone: "What do you think of the new policy?" ”

The ministers bowed their heads one after another, secretly praying that their colleagues would quickly stand up and oppose it.

This girl didn't mention the case of Zhang Shoufu, so it was enough to oppose it loudly, and now she must not let the emperor quietly write it down.

With the implementation of the new policy, it is inevitable that the interests of the family will be damaged. But if you don't take a step in the footsteps of Zhang Shoufu, even the family is gone.

Thinking about it this way, even the people who hate the New Deal the most dare not speak rashly.

Emperor Xingyuan was originally ready for the opposition of his ministers, but he didn't expect to be silent.

He couldn't help but glance at Xin Yu, with appreciation in his eyes.

King Xiu also looked at Xin Yu silently, his eyes shining with brilliance.

Once the New Deal is implemented, he understands the benefits to the community.

This is the new policy that the first empress wanted to implement at the beginning of the founding of Great Xia.

Thinking of Queen Xin, King Xiu's eyes became complicated.

"Since you have no opinion, then-"

The Ministry of Rites had to stand up: "Your Majesty, all dynasties and dynasties, but when it comes to change, you can't be rash. The minister believed that more people should be gathered to deliberate rather than rush to make decisions. ”

carelessly, those scruples and pawns are not there, and no one speaks out for them.

Emperor Xingyuan slowly swept over everyone, and his tone was slightly deep: "All the people present are the ministers of the Great Xia Humerus, with outstanding ability and insight. What's the point of gathering so many people if you can't come up with a better idea? Or is there a more capable courtier that I didn't notice? ”

Emperor Xingyuan's words made many people's palms sweat.

This means that if they think they are inferior to others, they give up their seats.

With the implementation of the New Deal, everyone present will suffer. Angering the emperor to lose his official position and resign, he will suffer personal losses.

It is not difficult to choose which of the two is more acceptable.

Ahem, if you think about it optimistically, everyone has suffered losses, which means that there is no loss.

By this time, smart people had already seen that the emperor had made up his mind to implement the new policy.

"If you have no opinions, then first find out the land, select a few fertile lands in the north and south as pilots, and try out the new policy." Emperor Xingyuan paused after saying his intentions, "As for the person in charge of implementing the new policy-"

Seeing that the ministers' eyes were fluttering, for fear of being named, Emperor Xingyuan curled the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "Let's wait for tomorrow morning to discuss it." ”
